The Plustek OpticFilm 8100 is a dedicated film scanner with 7200 dpi optical resolution. Its light sources give images more precise color rendering with less power consumption. Two one-touch buttons make scanning easier and more efficient for sharing on websites such as Flickr, Facebook, and Picasa. The Plustek OpticFilm 8100 features a compact easy-to-transport size and a custom carrying bag that protects the scanner from dust and other harmful elements when not in use.

The Plustek OpticFilm 8100 includes SilverFast Multi-Exposure, which is designed to increase the image's dynamic range, add more shadow detail, and eliminate noise. SilverFast NegaFix contains over 120 profiles for negative film and ensures optimal results when converting negatives into positives. The Plustek OpticFilm 8100 scanner is also bundled with LaserSoft Imaging's SilverFast 8. WorkflowPilot guides users through all scanning and processing steps. The newly designed graphical user interface makes the software easy to use.
